Brian is a terrifc traininer. Since I started working with Brian last Oct, I've lost 20 pounds, started to regain muscle lost from way too many years of a sedentary lifestyle, gained confidence, and committed to a regular workout schedule. Brian has been patient and encouraging, yet keeps me focused and challenged at each workout.

Brian is very professional and extremely friendly! I would most definitely recommend him to help anyone with their fitness needs and goals! He's very patient and very comfortable to work with. Having fibromyalgia, it was nice to have someone who was knowledgeable and understanding of different ailments, so as to construct a workout that would work best. Again, I would highly recommend Brian's fitness expertise! You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Brian! Many thanks and God bless you and your beautiful family! - Mona

I had my first session worth Brian today. He was prompt, professional and engaged me in a great workout that was challenging for my fitness level. I look forward to getting into great shape under his direction.

I have been using Brian now for over a year. He has been an excellent. Personal Trainer. He has helped me lose about 16 lbs. up to this point. He has been very knowledgable as well with any nutrition or excercise question that I have asked him. And my favorite part of all this is having him come to my home and me not having to go out to get my training at the gym. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in using a personal trainer.

My wife has been training with Brian for about three years. I joined her a little over a year ago. I am 62 years old, my wife is 60. She has been working out on her own for many years; I was just running on a regular basis before starting with Brian.
First, I'd like to comment on Brian as a person. He is a real gentleman - courteous, friendly, intelligent and very knowledgeable about training methods. He is NOT one to badger or even raise his voice but he makes you want to push yourself.
The workouts always vary so it keeps things interesting. He works out various muscle groups in different ways. He is able to adjust the workouts to protect an injured muscle or joint. We have a small room to workout in but he uses the hallway and stairs as well in various exercises.
In my case, there is no way I would maintain the workout schedule if we didn't have Brian on a regular basis.
This has had a significant impact on my life. My strength, balance and flexibility are markedly improved. I lost a belt notch without even noticing it until my pants felt loose. My golf swing has improved with the increase in my range of motion and strength.
There are many mornings when my wife and I are not exactly looking forward to our workout but we are always so happy when we complete our workout and know that we are improving the quality of our lives.
My wife and I are very appreciative of the work Brian does with us; we couldn't be happier and could not provide a higher recommendation. He is just terrific!
